i'm sick of seeing the nice setups. lets see the trashy ones. you all can't live all nice like that all the time. mine gets really dirty really fast, but i pretty much live at the desk. and i'm always building new computers out of old parts. i have about 5 built computers that i work on, then about 4 worth of parts. think i figured it out though, making a stealth computer into an old altec lansing sub casing.. using the mini-itx (via-epia-m) 1ghz board/proc to put into it. will have it for things that use windows only (logitech, sansa media converter, updating firmware and modding the cars head unit, etc) hooked up to a 15" in the other room... basically a computer that doesn't look like a computer ;) which in turn will clean up my setup, but still. THERE HAS TO BE MORE MESSY DESKS! you can't be clean all the time. not at a computer station

[bOO] - i LOVE it.

Sweet setup! I've got an Mbox 2 too (no pun intended). I'm getting an M-Audio keystation49 and the Studio Pro 3 monitors soon.

Where can I get that wallpaper.. I've seen it before but can't find it.

Regards,

I have it in my dA page (see signature)

Sadly, i haven't had much time to use my Mbox 2, but hopefully during the summer i will get some stuff recorded :)

i have the same keyboard for my mac, and sometime use it on bootcamp with vista... do you know how to get all the buttons to work???

Not all buttons will work with Vista. I can get them all to work except for the up/down buttons, iTunes button, and the button under that one...

Not especially the cleanest setup in the world but:

Click me.

The picture of the guy is my dearly departed grampa.

This also shows my Jones soda candy addiction, there are all six varieties of the candy there. :)

Well each to their own I suppose, I understand why you may think people who have 5.1 sorrounds speakers on their desk don't go out [well not really] but some people prefer sorround sound and while it would be better to spread the speakers out - some people don't have the space to do so so try to do the best with the space they have and despite this still get an immersive experience in gaming and the like. Next time, it'd be better if you just asked "Isn't it counter intuitive/useless if you bunch all of the 5.1 speakers on a desk together - aren't they supposed to be spread out?" etc to get a better response from other members.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but way do some of you go out, get nice 5.1 surround sound speakers, and then bunch all the speakers together. It just seems like a waste.

I was given them for free by Logitech because I shop so much with them, also, I don't have any where to hang the satellites otherwise, I'd hook them up the correct way?.. They're already hooked up to give me 5.1 surround sound.

Ah, that desk brings back memories. :) That's what I had way back when I finally got my own apartment (with roommates, of course). It never came close to being that clean, though.

My memory is fuzzy but I think I had another shelf above the desktop. Did you take that off?

I was just thinking about that after I saw that pic, too. I've been using the same quad-speaker setup for years and have never placed any of the speakers behind me. I think the next time I upgrade speakers I'm going to go for a pair of smaller nearfield recording studio monitors.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
